Thinking about Money

 Some initial questions : - What's money's role in the world - What is the nature of money? good and bad - What is money's value in my life? - Where can money get me to? - What is the catch with progress and how can contentment be defined? Some answers: 1. Money / economy is the reason someone is willing to grow fruits and vegetables, someone is willing to distribute it, is the reason why we are able to buy groceries and cook it. Simple as that. Nothing in this world moves without this formal way of exchanging favors. From the necessities like food, clothing, security to the luxuries of travel, brands, houses, cars and even education. 2.  Money is a reflection of whoever uses it. So it can be good or bad. And money is not always fair - the hard working get paid less and the more easier jobs get paid more. The differentiator is not the difficulty in doing the job, the differentiator is the difficulty in learning the job. Anyone can train to be a maid, and it gets paid less e...

Level 0 to where?

So I made a list of what I want to study on Sep 13 and a list of chores and other things I want to try earlier. Here are my updates from today : 25th.  I know there's a lot of things I want to do - mommy stuff, study stuff, home maker stuff, fun stuff, fin stuff. And I also know there's only limited energy and learning curves with everything. So here's a Level plan starting from level 0 promoting to wherever my body allows me to go. I also want to shortlist the varied interests so I can weed out things if at all I do get the time/energy to do things. I'll be okay if level 0 is all I can do, but having dreams and references are always good.  Level 0 - before baby arrives - Work - scripts / PF suspensions / eComm / hiring. - hospital bag / Health / checkups - Konmari - Shopping - Letters / gifts - Nanny / day care short list / food - h1b / S - maternity leave Level 0.5 - Baby Red Tape SSN / birth certificate / passport / OCI / CA Level 1 - Baby, me  Brush / Bathe / Water...

Indra Nooyi's 'My life in Full'

 As someone who I've been following for a long time and been inspired by, and also being at this juncture of having to commit more to a family role while still not feeling like I've figured out a career, I was really looking forward to Indra Nooyi's book. I was looking for learning and inspiration. If I have to get a net-net summary from this book so far. 1. Not confirming to what the society expects of you all the time and excelling in what you shine at.  2. Hard work and intellectual acumen.  3. Throwing oneself into solutions and results.  4. Not judging the product you work for or the timings and effort you put in. Highest degree of work commitment and ethics.  5. Coping mechanisms for family time. 6. A good support system - within family and out. 7. Cultural barriers and learning culture. 8. Paying loans, buying houses. 9. Maternity leave, care for family, self care. 10. Pay equity. 11. Success / Popularity and the distance it creates with people. Some peop...
